12/12/’24
Three years ago today, my husband passed, and I couldn’t imagine living without him. Three years and a lot of tears later, and I’m still here. I still miss him and always will, but my journey was made so much easier by the signs and communications that appear to be from his spirit. In fact…

Jack’s Spirit Chose “Our” Christmas Card This Year
One of the harder things a widow faces is learning to sign greeting cards as from just her. Buying a store-bought Christmas card is especially difficult for me since my late husband and I always made funny picture cards that usually reflected his naughty sense of humor.

The Sign of a Timely Tilt
One very big flaw of mine is the amount of ruminating I do. I spend way too much time when decision making, trying to make sure I do whatever it is from my heart so as not to offend anyone or ends up being the wrong choice. And if I think I did offend or…

2 Meatballs and a Cupcake
Gratitude comes at moments we can’t predict, but those moments of appreciation can make all the difference in our attitude and happiness.

One Chunk at a Time
The Universe always seems to give me a new project, and this time, it’s to remove a huge hunk of an island that was shoved (by hurricane or tornadic winds) onto my back yard! Those 90 mph winds and 21 inches of rainfall filled the lake and caused such high water that it managed to…

Sweetest Day Signs
My late husband (Jack) and I met each other on Sweetest Day in Ohio in 1967 at a college “Tea.” We knew right away that we were meant to be together, and we were for the next 54 years until he passed. The grief has been quite the challenge, as any widow of a lifelong…

Comforted by a Book
In honor of National Book Lover’s Day, I wanted to share a story of a memoir I wrote last year. I was recently made aware of a woman who received my book in the mail as a present to help give her peace after the death of her mom. (You Don’t Know Jack! : How…

Flashes from the Other Side
When it comes to grief, the lack of predictability is one of the hardest elements. As anyone who has lost a significant person in their life knows, the waves of sadness come and go with no regular pattern. Any thought at any time can spark a grief reaction and release the tears with almost no…

A Snake Reminder
I have enjoyed the power of exercise over the years, enjoying how my mood picks up after my brain gets a thorough blast of oxygen. These past couple of years especially, with the passing of my husband, I have committed to some daily physical activity to help my brain chemicals with the grieving process. Exercise…
